Steelers maintaining focus during their bye week

Members of the Pittsburgh Steelers were asked on Friday about their focus and preparation during this bye week. And based on the responses this group seems to be loose but focused. They understand that getting to the playoffs is an honor and getting a bye week should never be looked at as a negative.

It certainly feels like the team is making the most of the off time and aren’t in a position for a letdown. This team hit a lot of its goals this season but getting over the hump of the AFC Championship is next on the list.

The guys were asked about whether or not they’d be watching this weekend’s games. It was interesting that they approach it differently. Guard David DeCastro played it off like he might watch but he did mention the Jacksonville Jaguars game. This is the most likely opponent for the Steelers and the only one of the three that beat Pittsburgh earlier in the season.
